Emission Revolution: New 2025 Rule Will Make Mandatory Item That Increases Safety at Fuel Stations and Can Reduce Gasoline and Ethanol Vehicle Emissions by Up to 98%

As of last year, 20% of new gasoline, ethanol, and flex fuel vehicles sold at fuel stations in Brazil started to be equipped with a mandatory item that promises to save fuel and improve air quality. By 2024, 60% of new vehicles will feature this technology, and by 2025, all vehicles with these engines will be equipped with the system.

In addition to contributing to gasoline and ethanol savings, this new technology protects the health of gas station attendants and reduces the emission of toxic gases. However, its use also generates an increase in vehicle production costs.

Mandatory Equipment That Will Increase Safety at Fuel Stations

The strong smell of gasoline that is common at fuel stations is coming to an end. In the coming years, flex-fuel, gasoline, or ethanol vehicles will begin to be manufactured with a solution that reduces the release of polluting gases by up to 98%, especially during refueling.

EATON, a company committed to sustainability, is locally developing the valves that integrate the Gas Recovery System (Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery – ORVR), a technology that plays a crucial role in reducing environmental impacts and promoting health.

This system was created to comply with the 492/2011 resolution of the National Environment Council (CONAMA), which sets progressive goals for reducing pollution caused by gasoline and ethanol vehicles. Since 2023, manufacturers must equip 20% of the cars sold in Brazil with this technology, in line with the Air Pollution Control Program for Motor Vehicles (Proconve). In 2024, this requirement will increase to 60%, and starting in 2025, all new vehicles must leave the factory with the ORVR system installed.

The operation of the ORVR involves installing valves in the fuel tanks, along with adjusted refueling ducts and carbon filters. These components prevent gasoline and ethanol vapors from escaping into the atmosphere during refueling at fuel stations.

Instead, the vapors are stored and converted into energy for the vehicle’s engine when it is started. In addition to minimizing the emission of toxic gases during refueling, the system also reduces emissions when the car is parked in the sun or in motion.

Benefits for the Environment and Health

According to Afeevas (Association of Equipment Manufacturers for Vehicle Emission Control in South America), the introduction of the ORVR system in Brazilian vehicles will result in significant improvements in public health and the environment.

The reduction of gases like ozone will bring significant benefits, including a decrease in hospital admissions and premature deaths related to respiratory diseases. The association estimates that the savings for the health system could reach US$ 2.3 billion per year with the reduction in pollution levels.

In addition, the ORVR helps retain benzene, a carcinogenic gas harmful to health. Retaining this gas during refueling at fuel stations is essential to protect gas station attendants and other workers who are directly exposed to gasoline and ethanol vapors. The new technology not only protects the environment but also promotes a safer working environment for these professionals.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

Harvard scientists have created a tissue exoskeleton that does not look like an exoskeleton, with no rigid parts and reduced weight, using flexible cables and miniaturized motors to assist the ankle and hip, reducing the effort of walking by up to 23% in controlled tests.

Goodbye noisy fan: Brazilians are starting to replace the traditional model with a more efficient solution that cools the environment with lower energy consumption and a cost much lower than air conditioning.

Abandoned for 50 years, a 1909 silo without a roof turns into a luxury fortress with three floors, a bar, lounges, a spiral staircase, and a food elevator after a brutal renovation done by family brothers.

Meta’s new smart glasses are not just for seeing; they use artificial intelligence, analyze your food, summarize messages, and can even change the way you work in professions like engineering.

The sea water temperature rose from 28 to 34 degrees in Santa Catarina and killed up to 90% of the oysters: producers who planted over 1 million seeds lost practically everything and say that if it happens again, production is doomed to end.

With almost 70 meters in width at the stern and a shape resembling a “giant slice of cheese,” the Ramform Titan tows up to 24 seismic cables to sweep the ocean floor in 3D and reveal oil reserves hidden beneath kilometers of sediment.
